Directions
 Synthepol P134L should be catalysed with 1-2.0% MEKP and mixed thoroughly prior to application to the glass reinforcement. The ratio of catalyst to resin can be varied to adjust the gel time and cure. For best results workshop temperatures should be maintained above 15º C in order to ensure that a satisfactory cure is achieved.
Synthepol LSE resin will give the same interlaminar adhesion as a wax free resin but do not bond over resin rich, dirty or dusty laminates. High catalyst levels and high ambient temperatures may shorten the rebonding time which is usually a maximum of 48 hours at 25°C. If in any doubt, sand or abrade the surface before applying additional layers of reinforcement to ensure good bonding.
Storage
 All Synthepol polyester products should be stored in closed containers away from
any source of ignition and out of direct sunlight at temperatures below 25º C.
